Audio patch panels (patch bay) are widely used in multi-function hall audio systems, large-scale performance audio systems, broadcasting systems and recording studio audio systems.
1. The principle of patch panel
The audio patch panel has upper and lower rows of connected devices. The upper row of devices is usually used for signal output (such as the output of the mixer or the output of other audio equipment), and the lower row of devices is usually used for signal input (such as the output of the mixer input or input from other audio devices).
2. The role of the patch panel
The role of the audio patch panel is equivalent to a manual signal router, which can redefine the direction of the signal process and skip the faulty equipment.
The jumper is actually artificially adding some breakpoints in the system link to realize manual switching of a series of signals. Its fundamental function is to move the audio input and output interfaces of all devices in the system to a centralized place. In this way, when we need to change the system wiring, we don't have to drill into the back of the device to plug and unplug the wire. Its function is equivalent to a manual signal router, which can realize functions such as redefining the direction of the signal process and skipping faulty equipment.
